Hi all, I recently did the following: installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 from the iso cvsup'd the source (using tag=RELENG_5_2) followed section 19 of the handbook followed section 8 for the kernel rebuild and did a custom kernel (placing in /root/kernels and linking it, as per section 8.3) everything went well did a mergmaster and didn't accept any changes (it was a fresh system) rebooted and logged in did uname -v and got the same output as before all the above (Feb build date (5.2.1, right?), reference to GENERIC kernel not my custom kernel - my search of the list archives tells me it should show the local machine and a recent date in this output) Do I need to update somewhere to tell the system to boot the new kernel? If so, I totally missed that in the handbook (whoops). This also leads me to ask how one best confirms the system has "changed?" Thanks in advance for any help, August
